Shuttle operations of four trains between Jammu and Katra, launched on September 1 to support residents and stranded passengers, were suspended on Wednesday due to relentless rains and flooding.
Launched on September 1, the Jammu to Katra shuttle trains had been planned to continue until September 15.
Long-distance trains from New Delhi to Katra have likewise been curtailed temporarily.
Rail traffic in the Jammu division has remained suspended for nine consecutive days following track misalignments and breaches caused by flash floods and incessant rain on August 26 along the Pathankot to Jammu section.
To ease the situation, the Railways have deployed special services, transporting 5,784 passengers over the past four days.
The Vaishno Devi pilgrimage remains on hold for the ninth straight day after a fatal landslide near Katra on August 26 claimed 34 lives.
